All great but one thing I would change is the curb side pick up. I’d have designated areas are the back of the building to pick up . When I got there the other night there was no spot to park unless you went to the back of the building.

Stopped in for early lunch to avoid busy noon hour rush. 1 table seated when I arrived. I was solo and got seated, placed my order for chicken tenders and loaded fries. Table of three came in after me, placed their order. It was taking a long time and I began to wonder if they were giving priority to all the take out orders. It was Xmas Eve and to be expected so I waited some more.
I saw a severing coming with food. Finally!! But it was for the table of three who came in after me. Server went back to the kitchen, came out with a couple more plates for the same table. Server went back to kitchen and I was expecting to get my order and deliver to my table. Server came out from kitchen with nothing. Milled about doing nothing much. I waited for a couple of more mins. Still no food so I got up and left the restaurant. I don’t mind waiting my turn but Im not going to be ignored. I can’t help wonder if the larger table took preference over a solo diner. I typically dine alone and have experienced this bad behavior from staff before and it’s shameful.
